My stereo setup consists of a power amp, preamp and DAC. The preamp and power amp are from the same stable which I assume they are level matched in terms of voltage (or whatever it’s called) but the DAC being different may need to be adjusted to the right output voltage to match the preamp and power amp output. The reason I want to do this properly is so that the volume increments on the preamp do not have bigger or smaller increases than intended due to a mismatched voltage output (I think this is what it’s called) of the DAC.

I have attached here the specs of the components in my chain and hope to get some guidance on level matching of the DAC to the preamp.
